Re: [newbie] MP3 to WAV in K3b?
Personally I find k3b rock solid. Yikes, I have had bad system takedowns with K3B running in AUTO disk write mode, rather than TAO or DAO right after 10 Official came out. Now its right. Also if you want to go down real hard, run a 2.4 kernel, and upgrade to a 2.6 kernel. Reboot to the 2.6. If you come out alive, you are luckier than I. I lost my whole system, no way back.

Rob I did the better thing - I removed all but the kernel I use from the lilo menu so that I don't make any mistakes - and as well, it made a nice bit of space in the /boot partition (after I removed the kernels I don't want) - HA!

[newbie] MP3 to WAV in K3b?
Hi all, I seem to remember that I read on this list that it is possible to convert mp3 files to wav with K3b. In K3b I don't see anything in the menu's that indicates that it does. Can anyone tell me how to do this? If it can't be done, what is a good alternative?

I was really started to like K3b for it, but then my pc crashed bigtime and I had real problems getting it to boor again. No idea what went wrong but I'm back again after starting up in savemode or something similar... Do you think this can be caused by K3b? If so, I'm back to good old xcdroast.

Marco Sorry Marco, but Linux and crashing are not words I associate with each other. If a user programme fails it should not affect anything other than itself, although its possible it might make your Window Manager hang. In which case you can normally still use a text console, or if all else fails Alt+Sysreq+r etc (see http://doc.mandrakelinux.com/MandrakeLinux/92/en/Starter.html/troubleshooting-system-freeze.html ) Personally I find k3b rock solid. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Gave it a try again and it worked like a charm! K3b moved way up in the burning business... I guess by the time I figured out xcdroast I got stuck to it. Still like it though, but K3b offers a better ease of use. Marco Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
